ARNAB - Frankly Speaking with AMITABH BACHCHAN - Page 22

@quixotic


I am open to debate.

But it is not right if someone denies entirely or keeps claiming it was the only way out, it was necessary or discusses other things but not this specific issue.

Just certain words made me react later, in ways you talked of.

Usually politicians also skirt the issue by saying certain things. Whereas honestly it is not Hindu vs Sikh only. It was dirty politics.

Otherwise like I said, even Hindu members have shared their experiences and info on this issue here.

It's lost if things get reduced to Hindu-Sikh only. Some things are not justified. Some things are avoidable and rather tactical errors. There were reasons why non Sikhs have also written on this.

@ Quixotic, I am not a Sikh, I am a Bengali Brahmin but I have heard similar things while growing up as well. History can be very well manipulated, you know that.

Why are we surprised at this interview? Amitabh Bachchan is no God. He does not have to be a super hero in real life too - that is all in the movies- the righteousness, the honesty, - all make for good cinema.

He is an actor only!! Period.

It is like asking a politician " why are you dishonest?" It goes with the territory. Wherever there is big money, there is bound to be corruption.

He does not have the conviction of anything that he did; the only conviction that he has is that he did it for his survival.

He is only a human - trying to put food on the table for his family. In order to do that he had to scratch many people's backs, especially those that were in power at any point in time. It was a mutual benefit for the politicians involved and for himself.

We humans have this need of finding someone to worship. Especially actors; we just have to look at this forum to realize that.

Lol okay but inciting genocide is a lot different from standard hypocritical stuff these actors do. I don't even know how people can confuse the two. You are free not to judge him or whatever but people will naturally be surprised at the extent of his hypocrisy. We still have that tiny bit of humanity left I would hope.

There is a difference between "trying to put food on the table" etc and being associated with such violently anti-national and anti-humanistic stuff. This is entirely separate from standard hypocrisy because very few other actors have so actively been associated with national politics while being a so-called acting legend and got away with such stuff.

^^ Absolutely. It's a personal choice. I for one, am outraged and hate his offscreen persona. Nah, he was not supposed to accept anything but he was not even intelligent or charming enough to make his answers sound convincing. That's another myth regarding his so-called intelligence is broken.

Ofcourse he won't accept or comment on the allegations . It's the way he articulated his views on Fraternity culture of the industry , Salman etc and his utter fake ignorance about issues like Beef ban in Maha which made this whole iv laughable. He could have avoided answering them but the way he faked his ignorance about beef ban and that expression, comeon really? What was he smoking.
